Creating A Blog Post Based On Your Chosen Keyword

In order to get targeted traffic, we need to give Google what they are looking for. Google loves fresh new content that is up to date and delivers what the user is looking for.

In order to make sure that we are giving ourselves the best chance to rank for any given keyword, I use a very simple WordPress plugin called Yoast. There are other alternatives, but I recommend using this as its quick and very user friendly.

You can install Yoast within your blog for free. If you don't already have this installed, just head over to the plugins section of WordPress and search for Yoast SEO.

Using Yoast is very simple. Once you have the plugin istalled, it will add a "Yoast SEO" section at the bottom of your posts. This section will give you detailed information about how Search Engine friendly your post is.

Simply enter the keyword that you are trying to rank for in the "Focus Keyphrase" section. Start writing your blog post as normal and Yoast will give you suggestions as you go along.

You're aim here is to get a Green Traffic light within Yoast SEO. When everything is search engine friendly, you'll see a green traffic light, and two green smiley faces. This tells us that we have a great chance of getting ranked for our chosen keyword.

Follow the promts given to you by Yoast and spread out your chosen keyword thoughout your blog post.
